Accesible Dentistry

Protect Your Smile While You Sleep

Bruxism often happens unconsciously during sleep or stressful moments, leading to muscle fatigue, jaw pain, and tooth damage over time. Our goal is to help you break the cycle — protecting your smile while improving your comfort and sleep quality.

Dr. Renieris takes a personalized approach to diagnosis and treatment, ensuring your plan fits your needs, lifestyle, and level of discomfort.

We proudly serve patients throughout Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Wrigleyville, Andersonville, and North Center.

Signs You May Have Bruxism

Bruxism can be subtle at first, but over time, symptoms may include:

  • Worn or flattened teeth
  • Jaw pain or tightness
  • Headaches or ear pain
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Cracked enamel or restorations
  • Soreness upon waking

If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule an exam. Early diagnosis can prevent permanent tooth damage and relieve discomfort.

Our Approach to Bruxism Therapy

Dr. Renieris uses gentle, non-invasive methods to treat bruxism and its related symptoms. Depending on your needs, your personalized therapy plan may include:

  • Custom Night Guards: Designed to fit comfortably and prevent teeth grinding while you sleep.
  • Jaw Exercises & Relaxation Techniques: Targeted movements can help reduce muscle tension and improve jaw balance.
  • Stress Management & Lifestyle Support: Guidance for reducing daily tension and triggers that contribute to grinding.
  • Bite Adjustments: In some cases, minor bite corrections help relieve strain and prevent recurrence.

Our approach focuses on long-term comfort and protection — no unnecessary procedures, just practical, personalized care.

Custom Night Guards for Bruxism

One of the most effective treatments for bruxism is a custom-fitted night guard. These thin, durable mouthpieces create a barrier between your teeth, preventing wear and reducing strain on your jaw joints and muscles.

Compared to store-bought guards, custom night guards offer:

  • Better fit and comfort
  • Long-lasting durability
  • Superior protection for enamel and restorations
  • Easier breathing and speaking

They’re made using precise digital impressions, ensuring a perfect fit without bulky material or discomfort.

If you also experience jaw pain or tightness, we may combine your treatment with TMJ therapy for comprehensive relief.

Will my bruxism go away on its own?

It may improve with lifestyle changes, but most patients need a night guard or therapy to stop long-term damage.
